Chapter 3

SPOV

She knows Britt is right. Britt is always right when it comes to people. It's eerie if you think about it. But that's just the way things are. She has noticed the change in Rachel just not the extent that B has seen. She's not good with people or anything that has to do with feelings, which is unfortunate since she's in love with the most vocal, tactile, and emotional person on the planet. At least she used to be the most vocal person. Now that she's thinking about it, other than quitting glee, she's not entirely sure when was the last time she's heard Rachel's speaking voice, let alone her singing. It's had to of been at least a week.

She's screwed. She's sure of it. Falling in love with someone who is all of those things is going to fuck up her badass reputation. She already feels like a sap when she thinks about Rachel.

On the other hand she's best friends with Brittany which doesn't damage her badassness and Quinn who sort of reinforces her badassness. On top of that Rachel has started to check out if Brittany is right. She knows that B is. She just doesn't want to admit it. So she's resigned herself to observing the brunette. She wonders how she's going to go about doing that and helping the girl. She knows they decided to stop the slushies at school but there has to be something else. What that something else is…she hasn't got a clue. It would help if she knew what was wrong.

Which brings her to her next idea…befriending the girl. She's not an idiot. She knows that Rachel won't be open to it, especially to B, Q, and her. Well she might let B in. Nobody can say no to her and not feel like an asshole. She knows that B is their way in with Rachel. And once they're in then she can work on figuring out what is wrong with the tiny diva. She knows it won't be easy and when the tiny singer rejects her it'll hurt. But she's fucking Santana Lopez and if she wants it she fucking gets it. Resolving to talk to Britts in the morning about befriending Rachel she falls into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning she smiles the whole time she's getting ready. Operation Get the Girl is starting as soon as possible if she has anything to say about it. The start of her operation: get the slushies to stop, watching the tiny singer, talk to Brittany about getting Rachel to let them join her for lunch. She wished it could be some other time, some longer period of time, but outside of lunch when could you really talk to your friends without a teacher yelling at you? What did Rachel do during lunch? She didn't think that she'd seen her in the cafeteria for awhile and since the girl hasn't been singing she doubted that she'd be in the choir room or the auditorium. Hmm…maybe some following should be executed. Okay maybe not following. That sounds too stalker-ish. Shadowing: that sounds better. While she's shadowing she could see for herself if the tiny singer is as bad as B says she is. Now that she's got steps one through four in her head she decides it's about time for her to pick up B and Q.

After she picks her best friends up she starts to fill them in on her plan. Though she does get confused when B starts randomly talking about them and Scooby Doo related references. The Mystery Machine? What is B talking about? She decides that it's probably another conversation for another time.

She starts with the slushies. How are the girls going to get them to stop? Or course there is the list that only she and Q can alter but that doesn't mean it'll be followed. She knows that Q's already altered it since she checked it this morning. It goes out to all the jocks, cheerios, and popular people. It's sure to have caused an uproar from their classmates by now. She wonders what they are getting themselves into. She resigns herself to having to deal with it when they get to school. She also knows that if she has to, she has no problem beating someone down if they decide to fuck with her orders.

She lets Brittany know that she doesn't want to approach Rachel today. Maybe later this week after they've gotten a chance to watch the girl and come up with some ideas about what might be wrong. They're just going to spend the next couple of days subtly watching the girl. After calmly explaining to B what subtly means she continues on her plans for Operation Get the Girl with the two other girls. They agree that it sounds like a solid plan.

By this time they are walking into school with masks firmly in place as the head bitches. Santana feels good about their plan and the way she thinks her day is going to go. Until she looks down the hall just in time to see fucking Karofsky slushie her fucking diva. Once Rachel scampers off to the bathroom she sees red and immediately goes to take care of Karofsky. She's going to beat the shit out of him! Or she would if she could move. Wait, why can't she move? Quinn's got a hold of her arm and is giving her a look. She needs to calm down cause she's so mad she can't figure out the look on Q's face.

She takes a deep breath. And then another. And another.

When she's calm she can tell by the look on Q's face that she's already scheming ways to take Karofsky down. That she's got it handled. She calms down and tries to go back to her plan and continuing with her day. She knows Karofsky won't know what hit him if Q has anything to do with it. She goes to her locker and gets her things before deciding if she could catch Rachel coming out of the bathroom so she can start her operation. Suddenly wondering if her day is going to be really long and not as good as she had hoped.
